Pacemaker Block Hugger Performance Headers - Holden 253-308 V8 - PH5565 L/R
Solve clearance issues in your custom build with the Pacemaker PH 5565 Block Hugger Performance Headers. Designed specifically for the Holden 253 and 308 V8 engine blocks, these headers feature a compact "Block Hugger" design that keeps the pipes close to the engine block.

This product offers the following performance features:
- Block Hugger Design: Ultra-compact layout designed to provide maximum clearance in tight engine compartments.
- Universal Fit: Ideal for custom applications, street rods, and engine conversions using Holden V8 blocks.
- Quality Construction: Mandrel-bent 1⅝" (41mm) primary pipes ensure consistent diameter and smooth exhaust flow.
- High-Flow Outlet: Features a 2¼" (57mm) outlet for efficient exhaust gas expulsion.
